Sackboy gets stuffed on PC

Well that seals it, Sony should pull off pc just out of spite for that slight, you deserve no nice things pc gamers, back to cod and aim bots for you.

Sony on the ball again

Got my super special invite to buy a PSVR2 for £530... That seems like a steep price of entry

Yep. Not only that, but they don't tell us what coming to ps+Extra and when.
Its just radio silence until something happens.

Honestly as it gets close to Xmas I'm thinking of selling the ps5 and getting a seriesX

Then sell it already and stop complaining, have fun with all the new games MS are pumping out on a weekly, monthly? Yearly? Generation? Year the last one nails it.

Chill...

[teddymeow]

Well, them Ragnarok reviews are getting me super-hyped!!

[wakka]

It sounds like a barnstormer. To my great shame I haven't even played the first one, so I think I need to get round to that.

I keep contemplating selling my PS5 too, and then picking one up in 2-3 years when there are a bigger library of games (As I'm happy playing multiplatform stuff on my SX) and a lot of the first party stuff will finally not cost £50-70 each, and may even be on the PS Extra/Prem so I could get that for a couple months and rinse through them.

PS Extra/Prem is okay but not really worth the asking price yet, and yeah not a big fan of how they go about updating the catalogue, the classics line up leaves a lot to be desired.

Love the controller though and have enjoyed some of the FP releases and stuff like Stray...

MS' own output this past year has been disappointing for sure, and hopefully that will change a bit come 2023, but there has been so much fun and wonderful stuff on Gamepass, lots of fun indie and quirky stuff I probably wouldn't have even looked at otherwise. I'm struggling to keep up with it all to be honest!

Exclusives aside, MS are doing a lot of stuff I like.
Full VRR
Better rewards
Better communication
Actual 7th generation back compat

I was in two minds at the start of this gen.
Things I'd miss from Sony
Some exclusives
My entire catalogue of games
Haptics

[nonny]

Microsoft is definitely struggling with exclusives but I don't think this year has been as terrible as everyone is making out.

I've enjoyed almost all the core first party output from them including Deathloop (yes I know, a year late), Grounded and As Dusk Falls... plus Pentiment is out soon and I'm actually looking forward to it.

These games aren't the flashy AAA blockbuster like GOW but whilst MS hasn't gotten Hellblade 2 out yet (which I'd say is its closest replica) there's but some cool games and quite diverse genres to try.

Grounded especially is great. Seriously... I really love that game.

The issue MS has is it has several big name titles they showed early and then have failed to pinpoint precisely when they'll arrive... but I'm sure they will come.

[Neon Ignition]

For me, this year has been MS's worst. Entirely vacant of interest. But, it's been a terrible year within a terrible year. Personally, 2022 has been a complete dud, one of the weakest in memory and all of them need to push COVID aside as an excuse and get their acts together next year.
